Kevin will be left with 2 ounces of mixed nuts in the can

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total nuts = 16 ounces

As Kevin gave 1/2 of the nuts to his sister, he will be left with

$= \frac{1}{2} * 16\\= 8$

He is left with 8 ounces of mixed nuts

The he eats 3/4 of the remaining

$= \frac{3}{4} * 8 \\= 6\ ounces$

so he is left with 8 - 6 = 2 ounces of mixed nuts

Hence

Kevin will be left with 2 ounces of mixed nuts in the can
